West Ham United centre forward Michail Antonio has eaten humble pie this week.

The striker, who appears on a podcast, has apologised to Liverpool players and fans.

Antonio made comments months ago stating that his team would beat the Reds and finish above them in the league table.

"I am backing myself over Liverpool," he said on the Footballer's Football Podcast at the time.

"You know what, I think we are going to finish higher than Liverpool this season. I'm putting it out there.

"I watched the game [Wolves vs Liverpool] because it was before our game and Wolves could have run away with it! They had quite a few opportunities. We've got them this weekend and it's a six-pointer. We've got them!"

This week, he stated on the same pod: “I don't want Liverpool to win the league because you Liverpool fans are still in my inbox.

"Get lost! I'm saying it with [my] chest. I don't want Liverpool to win the league! Come for me! Arsenal get it. Man City, get it. That's all I have to say about that!"
